Default RE: HELP! Toms are making me mad!

Toms in Illinois have been doing the same thing. They gobble in the early morning, but after that they shutup. I have called in about 5 gobblers in 4 days and all of them but 1 came in silently. You say where you're hunting is very hilly, sounds kind of like where I hunt. What I like to do is get up on a ridge and glass the opposite ridges by the woodline to see if any are fanned out in the open. If so, use the hills to your advantage and sneak around to set up on them out of site. I got my gobbler that I finally shot doing this. One other thing I'll say is be ready because they always come from the most inopportune places it seems like, the key is to see them before they see you. Good Luck!
